Great course

I played here many times and enjoy both the Glades and the Championship course. The Championship course is in great condition with wide fairways. The only disadvantage is the bag drop point. You cannot drive carts to your car and there was no one to help me with my bags after I played. The bag drop is a ways away from where you turn in the carts. Parking is a real problem due to the new hotel just built. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable day.

Good but not Great

Course layout is Very Good and tough. Greens were decent, probably better than most. Rest of course conditions need a lot of improvement. For $68 OK, but $125, no way. Would play again if price was right.

True and Fast greens!

Very enjoyable round on champ course.
Was paired with a delightful couple and a single. Jerry, the single was a member and gave us valuable advice about each hole. Course conditions good. Play blue tees. White tee areas well used. Fairways thin and fast. Very good consistent greens.
Good value. Cleveland rental clubs offered last year were much more forgiving then current Callaway ones. Looking forward to another round.

Great layout, but terrible conditions

Wow, I was really looking forward to play this course. What a disappointing experience for the final day of our golf trip. Fairways were tore up, and the tee boxes if they weren’t bare and tore up, they were overgrown. The only two compliments I have for this course is that over 90% of the greens were in good condition, A little slow but healthy. Also, I think the course layout is very good. I would not recommend this course as a closer on a golf trip. At most a warm up course if you can get the round for less than $40. Not worth more than that in my opinion.
